Ken Robinson Reviews

In 2 days Ken's client made $300,000 in sales

They slashed their sales cycle by six months

Ken's client reflects on the sales training that helped his salespeople turn their business round:

"When you cold-called me on the phone about your sales training, you shared a series of ideas that motivated me to meet with you.

"Normally I say NO to people who cold-call, but you had me agreeing to an appointment for the following day. I don't think your phone call lasted longer than five minutes.

"But even as I booked the appointment, I still had no idea what you were selling. I was just excited to meet you.

SkyCool Managing Director

Rex Lehamann

"You seemed to know my situation, but most of all you left me thinking that maybe you had the answer to our problems.

"The following day, when we met, I had assembled my whole management team to hear your thoughts. Within one hour - you had us all so excited that I signed your contract.

"It was the first time I can remember buying something without feeling one ounce of pressure. Not only did you have me excited, but your approach had my team telling me we would be foolish not to go ahead.

"As you left my office that day with a signed contract, my first thought was, "Why can't my salespeople sell like you?"

"It was then that I realised I needed you to show my salespeople how to sell. Having worked in our business for 30 years, I thought I knew everything there was to know about sales until I met you that day!"

Junior sales rep secures his first $80,000 sale

Several years ago, Ken had a sales team from a Canon photocopier dealership attend his one daly sales training workshop.

Their Sales Manager, Trent, had a couple of new reps he was trying to bring up to speed.

"In my workshops, I like to make sure people leave with sales material they can use immediately in their sales meetings," said Ken.

"I asked the Canon team to share a challenge they were having. Their junior sales rep said that they had been trying to get an appointment with a major firm for over eighteen months. No matter which approach they used, they failed.

"After further questioning, we brainstormed a telephone script. No sooner had the junior sales rep returned to the office, he was on the phone trying out the script which lead to an appointment."

"I already have a few sales runs on the board..."

EM Signs sales rep turnaround...

"One member of staff who had not been performing, immediately began to apply what you had taught him. Within a week or two of the course his performance had turned around.

"Ken, not only do you deliver practical next steps which you showed us how to implement but you also gave my team the confidence to act upon what they had learnt.

"As I said to several people, the enthusiasm you have for what you do is not only inspiring but leaves one wanting to take action immediately.

"Thank you for your workshop, I would be happy to recommend you to any manager wanting to take his staff to the next level!"

Crest Office Interiors finds a new way to sell...

Would I recommend your Workshop?

Definitely, as you have a unique ability to step inside a business and quickly ascertain how its’ products and services should be sold.

I have been selling office fitouts for over 30 years and the one day I spent with you has shown me a better way to sell.

The feedback from my sales team has been extremely positive. You have inspired them to move outside their comfort zone, which is what I wanted.

They now have a process that will enable them to get through to CEO’s/Managing Directors, as in the past they have tended to only make contact with middle management who often don’t have the authority to make the final decision.

Thank you for a day of valuable insight, we look forward to applying your new way of selling.

Workshop attendees feedback

Ken's approach to sales has changed the way I think as a company owner...

I first engaged him due to his initial phone call interaction. Ken's approach to sales in the seminar has changed the way I think as a company owner and shows me the value in thinking like a customer.

From cold calling, websites, case studies and the entire sales process it has allowed myself to overhaul and improve my entire outlook towards selling for the better.

I thank Ken for this and look forward to putting this info into practice in my business.

Damien Cann // Director

Ken sales workshops are worth the money ...

"I am happy to recommend Ken's workshop. I have been to several of his workshops and I have had my team of Engineers complete a one-day in-house sales workshop.

"His workshops are excellent and worth the money. His energy and fun appraoch made the day most enjoyable.

"Plus, I have used his marketing services and know that he understands how to win new business. He is an excellent sales copywriter and understands how to reach buyers by translating your highly technical material into a format senior executives can understand.

Ken's views on sales training is highly relevant to all industry types...

"Ken's ability to simply explain the important sales basics and give stories about clients transformations in sales is a real eye-opener.

"Because we have a diverse business, we now see the importance of having a range of sales scripts that are relevant to each business type.

"Ken's views on sales training is highly relevant to all industry types as demonstrated in today's training workshop. Today's trading was attended by people from all different business types."

David Swanborough // Director Point of Sale Australia

Ken, covers some great concepts in regard to the reality of customers on how to connect.

"Prior to the workshop we had been recommended to Ken by Peter Davies of the New South Wales Business Chamber. Which is why we had already engaged Ken to produce a marketing program for our business.

PETER MCKINNON // Rotacaster, Managing Director

Ken's presentation is extremely worthwhile

"He understands how to take a complicated message and quickly translate it so that the layman can understand what we are trying to sell.
"Engineers have a tendency to make things complicated, whereas Ken workshopped with us each of our key sales messages, so that anybody lacking an engineering background would understand what we are trying to communicate!

"Ken's energy level throughout the course was amazing. Not once throughout the eight hours of his workshop did I feel either bored or tied. He kept on involving each participant, making sure that we all walked away with a sound sales strategy we could implement immediately!”

Jason Whelan // Sierratek, Principal Engineer

I will be recommending your approach to others...

“Ken, I really enjoyed your session. I will be recommending your approach to others. It’s something SME’s fall down on and also something they need to be aware of with an open mind.

I am always glad to see the benefits going to the SME’s as I realise the opportunity for growth will also see the growth in the supply chains they are engaged in, which makes everyone a winner.

Great workshop – Thanks, was definitely worth the time!”
